A&M ODE RECORDS AML - 96

Appendices: "Original OBI", "Fine Textured G/F Cover w/ Booklet ( inlayed inside gate-fold )"
( INSERT is not originally issued )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1971 ) of her 2nd solo album, coming with complete appendices. The gate-fold cover is fine-textured on its surface outside. Insert was not originally issued for this item. Instead, the booklet is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover, showing “Japanese liner notes”, “Japanese lyrics” and “Photo of Carole”. The price on obi & cover is JPY2000. This Japanese edition was issued on Ode records label after this 1st press issue. Ode logo is also on the label besides A&M logo, which is different in design from Discogs data. It's hard to find this item in complete shape even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from far east to serious collector.


Condition: G+/NM- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is lightly worn on the corners and outer edges. It’s tanned along the right-rim of front and side-rims of back side. Inside gate-fold, it’s stained in brown along the side-rims & center-fold ( See photos ). Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. There are a few to several spindle-marks with minor spots on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as "NM". No flaw on the groove…very clean disc, we guarantee you.

OBI: G, being stained in brown on the surface of back side.

INSERT: INSERT was not originally issued for this album. Instead, the booklet is originally inlayed inside gate-fold cover.
